Toshiya Ueno (Curator - Manga and Anime)
Toshiya Ueno is a sociologist, media theorist and critic who lives and works in Japan and Amsterdam.He is currently an associate professor in the Expressive Cultures Department at Wako University, Tokyo.He has written numerous articles, essays and reviews on media, rock/pop music, film, contemporary art, architecture and urban design.

“I can’t always distinguish elements of traditional Japanese culture from Japanese culture invented for tourists,” confessed Toshiya Ueno, a sociology professor at Chubu University and, in his spare time, a techno deejay with gigs in Tokyo and Amsterdam.

“During the First World War, in Japan, already there was a strong argument about overcoming modernity,” Ueno said, sitting in his cluttered university office behind two turntables and a mixing board.
